Boiler Installation in New York City

Installing a new boiler in New York City isn’t just about swapping one metal box for another.
Done right, it’s a system upgrade. Done wrong, it’s years of higher gas bills, uneven heat, and service calls you shouldn’t be making.

We install boilers across NYC for homeowners, landlords, and property managers who want the job handled properly from day one.

Why Installation Quality Matters More Than Brand Name

A lot of people focus on the brand. And yes, equipment quality matters.

But here’s the truth: A properly installed mid-tier boiler will outperform a poorly installed top-tier one every time.

In New York buildings especially, installation is everything.

• Older piping layouts
• Steam systems that need balancing
• Limited basement space
• Shared heating lines in multi-unit properties
• Strict code requirements

If sizing is off or venting isn’t correct, you’ll feel it every winter.

When It’s Time for a New Boiler

Most installations happen for one of three reasons:

1. The existing boiler failed completely.
2. Repairs are becoming frequent and expensive.
3. The system is inefficient and driving up heating costs.

If your boiler is 18–25 years old and you’re calling for service every winter, replacement usually makes financial sense.
We’ll tell you honestly whether installation is necessary or if repair is still practical.

Our Installation Process

We don’t rush installations. This isn’t a one-hour job.

First, we evaluate the property.

• Square footage
• Number of radiators or heating zones
• Insulation level
• Current fuel type
• Venting setup
• Existing piping condition

Then we calculate the proper heat load.

Oversized boilers waste fuel and short cycle. Undersized boilers struggle and wear out early. Correct sizing is critical.

After that, we remove the old unit safely and prepare the space properly before installing the new system.

Types of Boilers We Install

We install:

• Gas boilers – the most common system in NYC homes and buildings.
• Oil boilers – still found in older properties, especially in certain boroughs.
• Steam boilers – very common in pre-war buildings.
• Hot water boilers – often used in smaller residential properties.
• High-efficiency condensing boilers – for properties looking to reduce fuel usage and increase efficiency.

We’ll recommend what fits your building. Not what’s trendy.

Steam Boiler Installation in NYC

Steam systems are a different animal.

• Proper near-boiler piping
• Correct header configuration
• Proper pressure control
• Balanced distribution

If steam piping is installed incorrectly, you’ll deal with noise, water hammer, and uneven heating.
We follow correct steam installation practices so the system runs quietly and evenly.

Converting Oil to Gas

Some NYC properties still operate on oil heat. If you’re considering converting to gas, installation involves more than just changing the boiler.

• Gas line capacity
• Venting requirements
• Chimney condition
• Burner configuration
• Overall system compatibility

A proper conversion can lower fuel costs and simplify maintenance long term.

High-Efficiency Boiler Installation

Modern condensing boilers can significantly reduce fuel consumption when installed correctly.

• Proper drainage
• Correct venting materials
• Combustion calibration
• Clean water conditions

Installed properly, they offer quieter operation and lower monthly heating costs.
Installed incorrectly, they create constant service issues.
That’s why experience matters.

Commercial Boiler Installation

For apartment buildings and commercial properties, installation planning is even more important.

• Tenant occupancy
• Heating requirements
• Building schedules
• Compliance with city regulations

Downtime is minimized. Safety is prioritized.
The goal is stable performance for the entire building.
